C21 Bride

Eryna smiled and opened the gallery to check the new design she had to send him, but what her gaze met was the picture of Micah romantically hugging the maid, and an uncontrollable laugh escaped her mouth. Micah glanced at the phone screen to see what was so amusing.

“This…” He clenched his teeth in anger, his hand trembled as his eyes grew red.

He stared at Eryna with a bloodthirsty gaze.

“Delete that right now!” He ordered her.

Eryna stared at him for a second and then replied to him.

“What if I don’t!”

Micah had lost his cool, and he wasn’t in a very good mood. Eryna knew he wouldn’t hurt her because she had Grandpa to back her but what she didn’t expect was...

“Driver stop the car!”

“This!!” The driver too was surprised at why Micah would ask him to stop in the middle of nowhere.

“I said stop the car!”

“Yes!!” The car stopped suddenly.

“Get out!” He was controlling his anger when he spoke those words.

“WHAT?”

“Get out! I said or do you want me to throw you out of here?” He spoke while clenching his teeth.

Eryna stared at him and then at the phone screen where she had the iconic picture, She made up her mind and got out of the car.

“Driver!” Micah mumbled

“But Miss!”

“I said to drive or I will leave you here with her,”

Eryna stood by the roadside with an odd expression, she saw the car drive away until it was completely invisible.

“This guy! Did he really leave me here? Huff...I can’t believe it!” Eryna cursed him

“Guess I will have to walk all the way back to the city,” Eryna glanced at her high heels for a while before she took them off and stood on the rough stinging rod barefooted.

“You! You will regret this...I am going to take my revenge, I will make sure you run out of toilet paper when you go to the washroom next time…” Eryna tried to fix her facial expression because her feet were hurting.

“Ahh! This is so tiring… I don’t want to walk anymore…” She whined as she walked. It had been twenty minutes since she walked down the road without resting. There was not a single car or a bus that passed through the road. And then finally when Eryna was on the brink of madness she saw a truck. She waved her hands so the driver could see them and luckily the truck stopped.

Eryna ran towards the window to talk to the driver.

“Young missy! What are you doing on the road alone?” An old man with a cowboy had spoken in a sweet fatherly manner.

“I fell out of my car!” Eryna grinned.

“Where do you want to go?” He chuckled and spoke.

“I was headed to the city, where are you going?”

Eryna added.

“I have a fruit farm not very far away from here. Wanna catch a ride. I will be delivering the fruits to the city first thing in the morning so I can take you there then,” He replied in a jolly manner.

“Hmm…can I not get there any sooner? I mean are there no bus terminals here?”

“You might find a ride but I don’t think it will be easier…”

Eryna thought for a while and then agreed, but on the front seat of the truck, there were cartons of eggs. Those were way too many to move.

“Let me clear it up first,” The old grandpa tried to get off the truck but Ertna stopped him.

“I will get onto the trunk,”

“You will?” He spoke with surprise.

“I always wanted to do it,” She giggled and ran back towards the back of the truck. Her feet were hurt due to the rough road and she carefully stepped into the trunk.

The ride was a rough one but Eryna enjoyed every moment of it. She felt relieved and free as the wind blew her hair in the air. It felt like her worries were washed away and happiness had taken over her. The truck took a turn and drove through a rough road, it was bouncy and Eryna grabbed onto the sides of the trunk as she gazed around the beautiful fruit orchards, she got excited and forgot about her hurt feet and an injured hand.

The number of injuries she had in a few days was surprising.

The bumpy road came to an end when the truck stopped before the gate of a country house. It looked big yet old but at a glance, one could tell how well it was kept.

The grandpa walked out of the truck and stood by the trunk with a smiling face. He looked happy when he saw Eryna staring back at him with a happy face.

“Come on, I will take you to meet my wife, she will be very happy to see you,” he gestured with his hand as he called Eryna out.

“Okay!” She replied cheerfully,

It was unlike Eryna because she used to be very cautious around strangers but this time she didn’t feel like they were strange to her.

Eryna slowly stood up and jumped out of the trunk.

“Ouch!” A painful cry escaped her lips as her already injured bare feet touched the ground.

“Tsk...tsk,” the grandpa sat down and touched her slightly bleeding feet.

“This needs to be taken care of,” he spoke with a worrying voice.

“No, it’s not that hurt…” Eryna brushed it off as it seemed awkward for her to let an elderly touch her feet.

“Honey! You are back?” A soft motherly voice came from the open window that seemed like a kitchen.

“Yes I am back And Darling and I have a surprise for you too…” He responded to the sweet voice with a chuckle as he got up and looked in the direction from where the voice came.

“Surprise? Did you bring me the garland I asked for?” The voice grew happier.
